Everyone shut up and look at my handsome gentleman son

My white-with-tabby-patches kitty boy modeling his new collar, complete with blue and white plaid bow tie, which matches his eyes.

Bluesky I’m asking you rather than your sister X because I know you can be responsible: do you know any artists who can pull off something in this Nancy Drew cover style in a relative hurry and are taking commissions

🧵ICE's tactics for arresting and holding observers and protestors is ever-shifting, and I'm hearing lots of different stories. Right now, my perspective is that these are your best practices:

Rich people, even famous ones, do not need your sympathy, your cheerleading, or your attention. They need to pay you their tax money and shut the fuck up. Don't be drawn into their nonsense.

I agree, it is neat to look at neat things

museums are cool because the people who work there are like look at this neat thing and you're like wow that is neat and you just do it over and over again until it is time to go

it's a good day to revisit my favorite sentence from the article on julia roberts

Out of gratitude for running the only racially integrated theater troupe in the region and due to the Roberts's financial difficulties,[1] Coretta King paid the Roberts's hospital bill when Julia was born.[2][3][4]

bluesky is the #1 app for introspection

a comic with three frames:
1) a man is reading a book entitled "Why Your Bluesky Timeline Is Bad"
2) the man is looking at a page in the book and it reads "skill issue"
3) the man cries tears of anguish

Shout out to the @wtyppod.bsky.social live shows on YouTube which are providing the perfect background entertainment for my day-off decluttering (west coast tour when, I'd settle for Chicago even)

If you are only now learning about THE WESTING GAME, written by Ellen Raskin in 1979 & winner of a Newbery Medal, find it and read it NOW.

It's the best puzzle mystery novel ever, and is illustrated and typeset by Raskin herself (who started as an illustrator and book cover designer)

Cover to the deluxe anniversary edition of Ellen Raskin's book "The Westing Game." The illustration (by Raskin) is of a four story, gabled house made entirely of huge green $1000 dollar bills. Blooms of fireworks explode over and behind the house. A gold Newbery Medal seal is affixed to the cover.

Californians are NOT going to vote for Gavin Newsom. They're telling you now, with YEARS to go before the election. Fair warning. Please support better candidates, there will be many to choose from.

Even assuming free and fair midterms, and that this administration will abide by the results (they won't), the people of Minneapolis CANNOT WAIT UNTIL NOVEMBER

How many more atrocities will it take? How many more people have to die and be maimed before state and local governments take action?

I just think that, if you're going to say you follow someone's teachings, it's on you to do what you can to build a world where, if that guy came back today, he wouldn't be murdered by the state again

I too frequently joke that I am the way that I am because I was raised catholic but the truth is

I don't care about the suffering of jesus christ because he was the son of god

I care about the suffering of jesus of nazareth because I know he wasn't

he was just some guy. who had some stuff to say
